Time 45m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

½ cup dry white wine
1 pinch saffron threads
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cups pearl (Israeli) couscous
3 cups chicken broth, or more as needed
1 ½ teaspoons salt

Steps:

  • Pour white wine into a small bowl; add saffron. Let soak, about 10 minutes.
  • Heat olive oil in a 4-quart pot over medium heat until shimmering. Add couscous and stir until toasted, about 3 minutes.
  • Carefully stir in saffron-infused wine, chicken broth, and salt. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low and cover; cook until liquid is absorbed, 15 to 20 minutes. Add more broth if couscous starts to stick to the bottom and cooking is not yet complete.
  • Remove from heat and let stand for 5 minutes, covered, before serving.
